CARE & MAINTENANCE
Your Sierra leather notebook cover is crafted from genuine leather, a natural material that develops a rich and unique patina over time. With proper care, the leather will become softer, deeper in colour, and more beautiful with every note, sketch, and journey.
To maintain its quality:
- Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, heat sources, and excessive moisture, as these can dry or alter the natural leather.
- If the cover gets wet, gently pat it dry with a soft cloth and allow it to dry naturally. Avoid using hairdryers or placing it near heat.
- Remove dust and surface dirt regularly with a soft horsehair brush or a clean, dry cotton cloth.
- For deeper cleaning, use a small amount of quality leather cleaner or saddle soap. Always test the product first on a discreet area before applying it to the entire cover.
- Condition the leather every few months with a suitable leather conditioner or balm to preserve its softness, flexibility, and natural finish.
- When not in use, store your notebook cover in a breathable dust bag and keep it away from damp environments. If stored empty, gently fill it with soft fabric or tissue paper to help maintain its shape.
As genuine leather is a natural material, each Sierra notebook cover carries its own unique variations in colour, grain, and markings. These subtle differences are not imperfections, but a reflection of authentic craftsmanship, making every piece a one-of-a-kind companion for your ideas and stories.

The Leather Heritage of Cotacachi
Nestled in the Ecuadorian Andes, the town of Cotacachi has been recognized as Ecuador's leather capital for generations. What began as a small community of skilled tanners and artisans has grown into a place celebrated for its exceptional leather craftsmanship, where traditional techniques and knowledge are passed down from one generation to the next.
Today, Cotacachi is home to hundreds of independent workshops, each preserving the precision, patience, and dedication that have shaped the region's leather heritage. Every cut, edge, and finish reflects a culture built around craftsmanship rather than mass production.
Our Sierra Leather Notebook Cover is crafted in Cotacachi in collaboration with local artisans who continue this tradition. Made from genuine leather and designed to age beautifully, each cover develops its own character over time, becoming a personal companion for your ideas, notes, and everyday moments.
By choosing a Sierra notebook cover, you are not only investing in a timeless piece made to last, but also supporting the preservation of one of Ecuador's most treasured artisan communities.

Care & Maintenance
Each Sierra leather notebook cover is crafted from genuine leather, a natural material that develops character and beauty over time. Like all high-quality leather goods, your cover will age gracefully, forming a unique patina that reflects the moments and journeys it experiences with you.
With proper care and attention, your cover can last for many years while maintaining its softness, strength, and timeless appearance.
Cleaning Your Leather
Leather benefits from occasional gentle cleaning to remove dust and maintain its natural finish.
For regular maintenance, use a soft horsehair brush or a clean, dry cotton cloth to gently remove surface dirt and dust. Horsehair brushes are ideal because they are soft enough to protect the leather while effectively cleaning the texture and stitching.
For deeper cleaning, a small amount of quality leather cleaner or saddle soap can be used:
- Test the product first on a small, hidden area of the leather.
- Apply a small amount of saddle soap with a damp cloth or sponge, working gently in circular motions.
- Remove any excess product with a clean cloth.
- Allow the leather to dry naturally before applying any conditioner.
Avoid using household soaps, detergents, or chemical cleaners, as they can damage the natural oils of the leather.
Everyday Care
To keep your leather looking its best:
- Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, heat, and humidity, as these can dry out the leather or alter its natural colour.
- Keep your book cover away from excessive moisture. If it becomes wet, gently wipe away any water with a soft, dry cloth and allow it to air dry naturally. Do not use hairdryers or place it near heat sources.
- Avoid overfilling your book cover, as stretching the leather can affect its original shape and structure.
- Be mindful of contact with rough surfaces, oils, perfumes, and cosmetics, as these may leave marks on the leather.
Conditioning & Protecting the Leather
Leather contains natural oils that help maintain its flexibility. Over time, these oils can diminish, especially with frequent use or exposure to dry environments.
Every few months, apply a high-quality leather conditioner or leather balm to nourish the leather and prevent it from becoming dry or brittle. Apply a small amount with a soft cloth, allow it to absorb, and gently buff the surface afterwards.
For added protection, a leather waterproofing spray designed specifically for natural leather can help protect against light rain and stains. Always test any protective product before applying it to the entire surface.
Storage
When not in use:
- Store your cover in a breathable cotton cover.
- Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Fill the interior with tissue paper or soft fabric to help maintain its shape.
- Avoid storing leather goods in plastic bags, as they can trap moisture and prevent the leather from breathing.
A Note on Natural Leather
Small variations in colour, texture, and markings are part of what makes genuine leather unique. These natural characteristics are not imperfections, but a reminder that each Sierra notebook cover is a one-of-a-kind piece made from a living material.
With care, your cover will continue to evolve, carrying its own story and becoming even more beautiful with time.
